Beau Solomon, 19, a rising sophomore and cancer survivor, was last seen by his friends early Friday night just hours after arriving in Rome, according to reports. He was reported missing by his roommate when he did not show up for orientation Friday morning.

“We express our most heartfelt condolences to the Solomon family and to all those who loved Beau,” said a statement from the English-language John Cabot University in Rome.

Authorities said that after Solomon arrived in Rome on Thursday, he and his roommate joined a group of students and headed out to an area bar — and he vanished around 1 a.m.

Solomon’s parents found “thousands of dollars” had been charged on Beau’s credit card in Milan after their son disappeared, Solomon’s older brother Jake told NBC.

“In our family, he is the one who does it all right. He’s an incredible athlete. He is the one that keeps us all together,” Jake told NBC before his brother, a sophomore from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was confirmed dead.

“He was driven, career-oriented,” his brother added.

The Italian news agency ANSA said two people claimed to have seen a man throw a person into the Tiber the night Solomon disappeared.

Solomon, who had just completed his first year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in personal finance, successfully battled cancer for years as a child, family members said.

In 2005, Solomon met former NFL quarterback Brett Favre and other players from the Green Bay Packers, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“It was fun meeting Brett and seeing that he’s just a regular guy like anybody else. My favorite part was when he was making faces at my baby brother, Max, to make him laugh while we were taking pictures,” Solomon told Packers.com at the time.

His father told the site, “When your child is sick you try to think of all the positive things.”
